Good god, this month went by quickly! For those who are new, I touch bases at the end of the month to see if I met my monthly goals and set a few for the next month. Here's how I did:
1. Be 10k Ready: Honestly, I don't know. I ran a lot more than normal this month, but towards the middle of February I had some back and hip pain (still have the hip issue...) so I had to scale back a little. Tuesay I did 2.5 miles, yesterday 4, tomorrow 2.5, and then Sunday I am supposed to run a 10k in Redlands. EVERY SINGLE morning when I wake up I decide to scale back to the 5k (or not go at all) but then by the end of the day I come back around. We'll see. Is my sleepy self onto something or is just a lazy SOB?
2. Friendly Thoughtfulness: Yes! Sawyer decorated six Valentine's Day cards for friends and family members, I sent a package to a friend who just had a baby, and today I FINALLY went to the post office to send off another package to a fellow blogger, who had her baby like five years ago (okay, not quite). I loved getting Sawyer involved and I foresee some Easter cards in the near future.
3. 50 blog comments: No. I definitely made an effort to comment more, but I probably did maybe half of what I intended. This will be back on my list for March. I am determined!
4. Catch up on grading: Yup! My grading calendar continues to hold me responsible and keep me a tiny bit more sane.
5. Picture-related tasks: Yes! I finally uploaded my pictures from my phone to my laptop and ordered some prints for frames around the house.
Now, for March...
1. Finish book club in a timely manner: I always finish the morning of and while I do like the book fresh in my head, I am aiming for maybe a WHOLE day in advance this time so I can let things sort of percolate.
2. Blogging comments take 2: 50 comments in one month. I need to keep track to make it happen, I think.
3. Adulting Nonsense: I need some maintenance on my car done, to send in student loan forgiveness (not all of it.... I wish) paperwork, and go to the doctor for my hip.
4. Look into... learning: I feel a little intellectually stunted lately. I need to look into Skillshare, watch some more documentaries, buy a textbook, something.
5. Strength training: Basically I just want to work out my arms a tiny bit once in awhile so they don't look flabby when the weather is warm and I wear tank tops.

Good luck with your goals for March!
ReplyDeleteWe absolutely love our Valentine's Day card! It was a surprise because we never get those! Thank you. My goal is to upload my pictures. You really inspired me to make that yearbook!
ReplyDeleteI find it so challenging to keep up with blog commenting on top of actually writing my own posts! And then of course, I also want to time to read actual books.
